It's good for padding out an otherwise insubstantial sandwich. It's the kind of thing I used to buy on 2-for-1 at the Wimbledon Somerfield and put in my lunch so that I wouldn't get hungry halfway through the afternoon. It means your lunch is a bit of a fuel-stop, rather than a genuinely pleasant experience but it keeps you alive, if not truly 'living'.

quote:Originally posted by Black Mask: Who's more barbaric? Your Turk or your Portuguese?
Going on my own wild and insubstantiated prejudices I'd say the Turk, by a long shot. A few seconds of free association reveals the following facts about the Portuguese and Turks.
Portuguese: Round breasted women with long black hair bouncing through fields in cottony/ sackcloth dresses that show off their curves; rogueishly charming bandits stealing blonde children; toothless old men sitting with a walking stick watching their dozens of grandchildren play with carefree abandon.
Turkish: Snaggle toothed, swarthy men with beady eyes brandishing dirty, chipped knives in alleyways, no women because they've all been sold into sexual slavery, no exports other than football hooliganism and confectionary.

as for crisps - i don't have a strong opinion. The drive to embed notions of rustic labour practises into the junk food market doesn't simply particularly surprising. A lot of the chefs most admired by the middle classes seem to be all about cooking rich, fatty and expensive food.. decadance in general seems to have become something that we've been pursing in our newly outfitted kitchens. I'm thinking Hugh FW, Nigella, G-Ramsay rather than J.Ol. Anyway, this is the perfect cover for junk food - completely lacking in nutrition as it is - because by endowing it with the same cultural properites that you might associate with one of those multi-bird super stuffed perversities, you're able to legitimise unhealthy eating. The more authentically elaborate the process of transforming raw produce into the finished meal, the less the public care about the health properties.

no thank you, and let's not drag this thread down with the infantile fever-dream one-upmanship that thorn started yesterday. He's got a thread if he wants to act like a delirious retard in public - let him do that there so he doesn't mess up yet another Lunch Club.

quote:The Duchess of York is reportedly facing arrest over claims she broke the law by taking part in a TV documentary about Turkish orphans.
Authorities in the country are angry at Sarah Ferguson's appearance in the ITV programme which claimed children were being neglected.
The Duchess, disguised in a black wig and headscarf, was accompanied by her teenage daughter Princess Eugenie.
At one point she was tearful when she saw the conditions some youngsters lived in.
Prince Andrew's former wife is accused of breaking privacy laws. Turkish officials have already spoken out against the Duchess, accusing her of trying to smear the country's image to prevent it joining the EU.
Could Benway's consumption and defence of Turkish food be taken as an endorsement of the Turkish ill-treatment of children? The answer, I'm afraid, is 'yes'.

Thorn, lunch club is not a place for you to pursue your erotomaniacal quests for vengeance. Please, if you have something to say about your lunch, we'd love to hear it, but if you wish to prove that your obsessional gay love for me has finally overwhelmed your ability to coherently communicate, then please use your own special thread for that. Thank you.

These people are Johnny-come-lately jumped-up pretend-cooks. Everyone should be cooking from Elizabeth David. Also JO is a shite cook.

the more jumped up and pretend, the better they are at being celeb chefs though, and the more meaningful they become in the eyes of those men and women who look towards such people for meaning in their lives.

We had my folks over for xmas and my Dad's fancied cooking one of these for ages. He supplied it, cost a fortune, apparently. Goose, turkey, mallard, teal... something or other. Dry as a fucking bone. Bearing in mind that's with a goose on the outside. Like sawdust.

didn't the same thing happen when he did 'the naked chef' about ten years ago, and every single time between then and now?

Have you seen his American show? I want to fucking murder him every time he opens his stupid fucking mouth.
It's the horrible matey stuff I can't stand. "This is Antonio! He's such a great bloke!! and he makes the most amazing home-dried mesquite-smoked bark-chipped sawdogs!!! Mate, these are amazing, really mate, really amazing." Flesh-shiveringly bad. I liked him ok when he was proselytising about what we feed children.

Such people should be machine-gunned at dawn. Come on, who's with me??
(Note to CIA/FBI/MI6 - this does not constitute an actual plan to murder anyone. There aren't enough bullets.)

There's hardly any cooking in this show. It's just Jamie hanging with his homies. Eating 'ethnic', 'downhome', 'Mom' 'and' 'Pop' cooking in between patronising everybody in the universe and delivering appalling homilies and generally being a **** .

He was calling everyone 'Bruvva' last night. I was in tears.

Hey, Ben! When I got in from work yesterday, Octavia looked up from the laptop and said "I'm really glad Ben's back on TMO." Thought you might enjoy that compliment. Of course that was all before this pun happened.

Hey on the subject of compliments; last night I was reading a bunch of old threads and found the one where I talked about my old school reports and then there were lots of tales about schoolhood shame, and parents' days, and kids with cock-breath. Anyway, I found it funny enough to want to show to Reema who remarked "I really like this Nathan guy, he's hilarious!"

Cheddar, mozzarella and tomato toastie, 'giant' oat and raisin cookie*, mango juice drink. Sadly, as fast as I could shovel nutrition in, the infant at my breast sucked it out.
* A mere 15cm diameter, which I wouldn't strictly call 'giant'.
I had salad from the cafeteria that included crab pasta, spinach and bacon, grated carrot, beetroot, sweetcorn, cous cous with roasted vegetables, broad beans, chillis and olives. It were good.
